Any summer resident wants to grow strawberries themselves, as this berry is incredibly tasty and valuable in terms of its chemical composition.

Growing your own is always an advantage, as you can control the application of fertilizers and try to grow the crop as naturally as possible.

Not all summer residents know that they can plant special plants nearby that will significantly increase the yield of berries.

What options can you pay attention to?

The most common plant you can see next to strawberry beds is the common onion. This is easily explained, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer, expert of the online publication "BelNovosti". Thanks to such a "neighbor", strawberries will be protected from harmful insects and diseases.

A tulip can be a very unusual "neighbor" of the berry. The luxurious flower will not only make the bed brighter, but will also help the crop to yield an excellent harvest. Iris has a similar effect.
